[caption]When the Mushroom get loose by Lili Phelouzat[/caption] Do you believe the world will end this December 2012? Well, apparently some artists think we are a time-bomb waiting to happen if we don’t change our ways.*These artists came together for a special exhibit called the Project…

There’s something about artists that get discovered quite late in life – they are like wine, they get better with age – such as the late Louise Bourgeois who became a critically-acclaimed artist at the age of 70 and went on to change the face of modern and contemporary art. Phyllida…

[caption]Incognito II by Olga Gouskova[/caption] Sometimes artists are not very comfortable with interviews and one them is Russian-born Belgium-based artist Olga Gouskova.

A friend of mine will take a few days off work just to visit Paris and see Anish Kapoor´s Leviathan, a monumental balloon sculpture at the Grand Palais in Paris. There are no pangs of envy but I wish I had cheap Eurostar tickets just to pop in for…
